    Rump
    Had it last time. A bit chewy but omg def ms9

    • onggie on 19/01/2021 - 19:31

      How big and how long did you cook it for? Marble score of 9 should not be chewy if fat has rendered correctly.

        Meat was room temp, pre sliced ready for cooking when purchased. 2m each side. Nomnomnom

          yeah 2m each side is 1 min 30 seconds longer than maximum allowed.

    • djmm on 19/01/2021 - 19:36

      How can it be chewy but yet still ms9? Ms9 supposed to be very soft

      • lplau on 19/01/2021 - 22:42
        +1

        I remember reading somewhere that the grading isn't specific to the piece of meat itself but overall cow.

        So MS9 rump vs MS9 Scotch Fillet would be quite different in terms of texture of softness. Since Rump itself is a cut which is always leaner which depending on how it is cooked, it can be tougher than other cuts of meat.

      • simulacrum on 20/01/2021 - 11:07
        +1

        Grading is about the marbling score which does effect softness, however the cut of meat has inherent characteristics. The rump is the top of the cow's legs - its buttocks essentially.. one of the harder working muscles on the animal, hence it has more connective tissue, less fat and chewier texture. An MS9 rump might be softer than a non-wagyu rump, but still chewier than an eye fillet, which is next to the cows spine and does very little work (given cows don't have to hold themselves upright) , contains little to no connective tissue and gets very marbled.

    • Sieben on 19/01/2021 - 19:37

      Rump is always chewy no matter how much fat it has. Rump cap could be a better option IMHO.

      • zeomega on 19/01/2021 - 19:50

        Rump requires it to be perfectly cooked for it to not be chewy. As @sieben says, Rump cap is always the better option like for like.

        • inamberclad on 19/01/2021 - 23:36

          Rump requires it to be perfectly cooked for it to not be chewy

          perfectly cooked as in RARE!!!!?

          • inamberclad on 20/01/2021 - 09:40

            @Homr: i did cook it rare, and the owner who runs the shop was quite specific with cooking instructions.

            when i described this ms9 rump as chewy, it's definitely not the same as normal rump chewy. but it's definitely not like sirloin either

      • sunnyc on 20/01/2021 - 02:00

        ms9+ rump isn't chewy. normal rump is very chewy and should be slow cooked.

      no. a5 is a different league

      • Specificagent1 on 19/01/2021 - 21:01

        whats the difference?

        • lplau on 19/01/2021 - 22:48
          +9

          Lol, Once you have been to Japan and had A5 for real. You will realize that none of the wagyu from overseas which are supposed to be highest marble score matches it. Wagyu is just a type of cow, but they literally take it to the next level. The world has imitated their methods but has never perfected it.

          There is a saying for wagyu: The meat is fat with a little beef.

          A5 literally melts in your mouth, even a baby with no teeth can bite through it (although I wouldn't recommend it due to the high fat content).

          Also due to the high fat content of A5, usually the proper way to eating it there is to slice it up and BBQ grilled then seasoned with salt and pepper. You will feel extremely bloated if you attempted to eat A5 in a steak style serving (200-300g).

          • Bargainendorphins on 19/01/2021 - 23:25

            @lplau: This is pretty much spot on. A5 beef has come from a long line of selective breeding and rearing. Incredible stuff. Saying that though, this deal still looks great!

          • Homr on 20/01/2021 - 01:29

            @lplau: ahh ok, so how does MS9+ compared to? A3?

          • truongtran on 20/01/2021 - 10:30

            @lplau: Agree. I couldn't eat any Aussie beef for almost 4 months after having Wagyu beef right from the source in Kobe 3 years ago. Every time I think of it, my mouth is watering again.

        • sunnyc on 20/01/2021 - 01:58

          ms9+. A5 is godly but the cost is deadly and possibly never on sale. At least 2-3x marbling, better flavour, fat melts by holding it.

  • jOhn-e on 19/01/2021 - 20:22

    How much is this normally? Delivery is $15 to 2176 which is not what is listed on OP ?? Am I doing something wrong.

    • aragornelessar on 19/01/2021 - 20:54

      Title says +Delivery now.

      That said, the FAQ says it should be either $10 or $20.. somehow you got in the middle

      Our new delivery charges have been simplified for ease of use. We charge a flat rate of $10 for deliveries within a 18 kilometer by road 'local zone' radius, and $20 for deliveries outside this local zone, but less than 100km away from the store.

      You'd be nowhere near the 18km road radius!

  • innocentdingo on 19/01/2021 - 20:42

    is this one large rump or sliced into steaks?

    • eecan on 19/01/2021 - 20:44

      Was one large piece when I ordered it from the first deal.

      • innocentdingo on 19/01/2021 - 20:46

        thanks - I've never dealt with a 3kg rump - is it easy enough to cut into steaks?

        • inamberclad on 19/01/2021 - 22:24

          I picked up my order as one massive chunk but the butcher offered to slice into steaks

    • sunnyc on 20/01/2021 - 01:53

      ask for it thin sliced. Most people don't know how to cook thick steaks.

  • Junnyjun on 19/01/2021 - 20:48

    Anywhere recommended for vic? :(

  • BlinkyBill on 19/01/2021 - 20:50

    Obviously not confident enough to state rump before click through to website. BTW I occasionally see rump at my locally Woolworths (with in store butcher), that's wagyu and really well marbled. Hit and miss maybe one Saturday in five (maybe they have excess supply of the good stuff who knows). About $30/KG. I save my hard earned that where I can see exactly what I'm buying.

    • BlinkyBill on 19/01/2021 - 22:10

      Not sure why someone is hiding behind a neg. If you say something to add to the discussion then that's great. I would have thought if advertising Wagyu on Oz bargain, the type of cut that is being sold was kind of important. A simple search shows many others confident enough to state Wagyu Rump or otherwise: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/search/node/wagyu%20type%3Aozbd… Here's an entry from 6 months ago stating its rump: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/551604 It's not hard to provide the right info upfront.

      • inamberclad on 19/01/2021 - 22:23

        Perhaps rump is immediately dismissed as a low grade cut and so would negate the impact of the advertised deal?

    • sunnyc on 20/01/2021 - 01:52
      +2

      I'm tempted to neg you but I won't. First of all, when you buy single steaks, they're marked up between 200%-500%. Secondly, even though most wagyu in Australia isn't full blood wagyu, there is a huge difference between farmers, this is rangers valley maybe black opal rump which is premium wagyu. Third, You don't need to save your hard earned money because the grader has literally seen it and said its ms9+ which means you won't get a marbling score less or equal to ms9. Seeing doesn't mean much unless you understand cuts of meats.

      You should buy a premium cut and the woolies cut and figure out which one you like better. I bought the 3kg and then I bought various other rumps, wagyu angus, grain fed, grass fed to come back to the conclusion that ms9+ is the standard of steak I want to enjoy in the future.

      • BlinkyBill on 21/01/2021 - 11:31

        Firstly I buy meat from various places, but supermarkets isn't the main place. I just happened to notice the insane amount of intramuscular fat at the local store when walking past (this was in the display case, not prepacked), so $30/KG it was well worth it. Note, this wasn't the case in subsequent trips, as above maybe 1 in 5 weeks shopping
        I have feeling during lockdown orders that normally would have gone to restaurants etc would have been diverted to supermarkets. I've also bought much much expensive cuts so I do know the difference.

        Edit: And if anyone is keen on rump (I prefer rump cap) it's $40/KG for MS9 (or $62/KG for Rump Cap) https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/381338826236348/?r…

    • eecan on 20/01/2021 - 15:42

      I've seen the Wagyu they put out at a few Coles/Woolies stores (both prepackaged and instore butcher) and they aren't even close.

  • pxr5 on 20/01/2021 - 00:15

    I've bought from here a number of times its great, I've been instore a few times (its a bit of a drive from here) and was always given a good discount when ordering large cuts

  • Homr on 20/01/2021 - 01:26

    thats 53.33 a kilo, tempted but I'm worried about getting it delivered when I'm not at home.

  • LurvinOZB on 20/01/2021 - 09:26

    ufff … only NSW. Any Vic ones to recommend?

  • phan28282 on 20/01/2021 - 11:51

    they are located NSW Northern Beach area — possible considered as Southern part of Northern Beaches
    just to let you all know if you are not familiar!
    I have bought few times from them (pick-up) good service and meat
    have not been to the shop since covid started
    a bit drive from my home

    Personally don't like 9+
    it's too fattening for my taste
    Always settle max 6+/7+ and take the better cut of meat part
